Specialist training firm signs key deal

A firm which offers specialist software and services to the aviation industry has signed a major new deal.

The AIM listed Pennant International Group has signed a strategic partnership agreement with Oxford-based Aquila Learning Limited.

Aquila is a developer of innovative technologies and services for complex training needs, to collaborate on a number of projects, including the integration of the ALaRMS (Aquila Learning and Requirements/Resource/Record) Management System into Pennant’s market-leading IPS software suite (GenS, Analyzer and R4i).

Aquila already has established capabilities within defence organisations and OEMs in the UK and overseas.

The new partnership agreement will provide users with additional capabilities and functionality, including an end-to-end S-Series software toolkit.

Phil Walker Pennant chief executive said: “We are excited to be working with the Aquila team to broaden our S-Suite coverage and extend the software solution with Aquila’s market-leading S6000T product suite.

“The integration will generate additional synergies within both product and customer base, leveraging Pennant’s 65-year track record and international reputation for providing leading-edge software, services and training solutions in support of Aquilla’s continued development.”
